Appli-cation filed `October ,16, 1824'. Serial No. 744,017,

To all 'zo/om t may (2071.062772 Be it known that vl, JOHN J. MEYER, zrcitn4 zen of the United States, and @resident of them-it)Y ol New York, `borough of Manhattan, in the `county and State .of NewYork, i have invented e ne.T and improved insertahle Joint, oi which the following is el, full,y

clear, and @met description.-

This `invention relates to insertuhle oints 'for soil pipes lsind v has for :in object to pr-0-L ,vide en iinproved construction ivherein vertically sliding` supports are providedto Icon-V n-ectthe lower` pant of the pipe lineivith the superimposed part.

Another object of the invention 'is ktopro'- 'vide en improved insertahle o i-Iit ivliicliincludes a shdingsupport with A.Ineens gtor locking the support ,at difieren-t heights.

A still inrther object of the i nvention,1

l.more speciicully, is fto provideen improved construction `wherein e., sliding; `support is presented gto-ruled ,either integral Witljl e ifelse bottonror independentthereof. n

An additional object is to provide en nnf proved' construction in which thepert' is a' division '.oit iny. prior yapplication for .pe/tent,`

Referring to the accompanying drawing by numerals, l and 2 indicate floors through which ftheY pipey line `3 extends, seid iine being V:the usuel soil pipe line found ink houses and formed of enuniber vof sections of pipe each having t body and a bell or hub et Tone kend for receivingthe nent superimposed pipe section.

Where the soil pipe line has been placed in e Ahouse and ,it is later desired to del L *toilet or other tixture, it is necessary to break f @ive-.y Vthe lplaster and another material covering `the line end elso to Jbreek one or incre of the sections ogt `the line'in `order to place in position the section 4` which nitty be a Yi, T orother struoture gmc-ting ase branch lin@ for itheedded fitter@ In order to rr@- vent the removal let" e111 eff the motions 0f pipe ebo've the section 4, a Avire or other means` is usedy to Yteinporeirily .suppolt the superimposed pipe sections so that the see` tion 4 may he reedilv -ttedvinto r4the huh ofthe insentedsection 5.y lnorder that this nitty he done, the huh'end ot the section 5 is of Special construction-es naitnterfly shown :in Figures 1-=tor8 inclusive. pFroinfthese gures it will he noted? that the rluib VG is re-` movabl-y .connected with the enlargement ot .section 5 by suitable Y threads. The threaded seotionS ,iney entend outwerdlyes `illustiated in Figure 2 .or may hefout in the upper end of the enlargement Z as ipneiierred. lt will 13e-noted theft the upper ,end of the enlargement 7 'forms the bottoni to `the huh but it is necessary' fto support the pipe 4 zi-boue :this bottom. -In order to y(do vthis a ring .9 forming the false bottoni With t ksliding supporton sleeve :10 4is ,provided ,toA su-ppont the section 4nnd tlie saine `tiine present e false bottoni for the huh illustrated infFigure 4. c i

It will be notedthat the ring `f9 is `loosely .positionedand maybe-inserted after .the seoitions 4 and 5 have been kaligned hut heiore Sonietim-es it is desirable to support the pipefsecltion 4 at `s higher level than lshown in Figure 221ml when this is the oesethesleeve 10 is eilevotedthe desired extent and the reduced end ot the' screw' li is positioned in .the l eminent-nete ,notch is ateniese. n1 the ,support revolution and the screw 11 inserted "into the vertical slot 15, the sleeve 10 will be held in a slightly elevated position so that the ring 9 will be raised above the upper end of the enlargement 7. It desired, the sleeve or support 10 may be manually adjusted until the screw 11 iits into any oi the laterally extending notches 16 oit slot 15 and in that way lock the support or sleeve 10 in different vertical planes. It will7 of course, be understood that as the Vsupport 10 is raised or lowered ring 9 will be correspondingly raised and lowered and thus adjusted so as to take care of the space between the lower end of section 4 and the upper end oi the enlargement 7 of section 5. After the parts have been adjusted to the desired elevation, suitable oakum or other fibrous packing 17 may be inserted and then the usual lead packing 18. rIhis presents a water and gas tight connection.

In Figures 4e and 5, a modified construction is shown wherein the vertical sliding support 19 is providedwith a plurality of notches 20 in one part of its periphery, said notches being capable of mating with the bore or passageway 21 in the enlargement 7 whereby the rod or supporting' pin 22 maybe inserted and partly extend into the bore or passage-way 21 and partly into the notch or groove 20. In this Way, the rod 22 may act to lock the support v19 in different vertical planes so Vas to support the ring or false bottom 9 in different vertical planes.k

The rod o1` pin 22 is preferably provided with an enlarged threaded section 23 screwing into a threaded bore in the enlargement 7 whereby the same cannot be accidentally removed.

In Figure@7 a further form ot the invention .is shown wherein the support 10 is -formed with a ['lange 24 at the upper end 'which is integral with the body o'l the support 10 instead ot separatelyV as shown in Figure 2. The support 10 may be made otherwise similar to that shown in Figure or inayhave a number of apertures 25 into which a supporting piu 26 is adapted to be forced, said pin heilig capable of being positioned on top or' the enlargement 7" of section 5 or maybe positioned in the aperture 27. As shown in the drawing, the screw 6 is arranged on top of the enlargement 7 while the filling plug 28 closes the threaded aperture 27.

In Figures 7 and 8, a further form of the invention is shown wherein divided rings 29 and 30 are used for supporting the Vparallel to section 5.

supporting member or sleeve 10. In Figure 7 two sets of rings have been provided but it is evident that more or less could be used according to different conditions.

In Figure 9, another form of the inven-l tion is shown wherein the flange 211 of the supporting sleeve 10 is provided with one or more screws 31 extending substantially These screws are arranged in the flange 21 and bear against the upper end of the enlargement 7 whereby they may be adjusted to cause a proper support for the pipe section 1.

In Figure 10, a slightly dil'liercnt structure from that shown in Figure 9 is illustrated. In this form oi' the invention, the various screws 32 are threaded into the enlargement 7 and in order to secure a vertical adjustment of the support 10, these screws may be rotated in the desired direction ior causing the support to be raised and lowered. f

It will be seen that the sleeve or its rim may be supported directly on the horizontal top wall adjacent the larger bore ot' said pipe section by pins or set screws penetrating into the sleeve and resting on the top of the wall or partly sunken into the top wall. Also, adjustable set screws may be threaded into the rim and rest on the` top wall of the pipe section or screws may be threaded into the top of the pipe section and extended to raise the sleeve and rim to different heights or shims of straight or half circular forms may be slipped under the rim to extend and support the same.

It will be further seen that the sliding sleeve 1() may be partly turned on the cam 13 to elevate the sleeve to different heights and that the ring 9 may be rigidly secured to the sleeve 10 or made integral therewith as shown in Figure 6, or the ring may be omitted and the upper end of the sleeve 10 may abut the superimposed pipe. rIhe inclined notches 1G in the sleeve 10 may be slanted or cam-shaped to give vertical adjustment. The pipe 4 may telescope partly into the bore ot the enlargen'ient 7 ii desired to facilitate insertion and the sleeve may be made shorter.y or the sleeve may be omitted, removed 'and replaced.
